We knew Tech would get some yards. The great thing to me is watching the adjustments Grantham makes at halftime. It is such a relief to have confidence we are going to come out in the second half and shut people down. I wonder how much of that is adjustments and how much of it is due to the S&C? Probably some of both.

+1. I know that you need to compare apples to apples, but instead of changing the rubric to fit an outlier, its more important to realize what caused the unexpected outcome.

By my mental calculations, if we gave up 1 extra offensive/ST TD in SEC play this year (7 points total, 8 SEC games, .875ppg) than the average # of offensive/ST TDs of the previous SEC championship teams, then this team would get below the “true” defensive scoring metric (Actual PPG goal would be less than 17 since we’re backing out points not surrendered on D). Given our propensity for allowing non-defensive TDs this season, it doesn’t seem like a far stretch. Anyone got time to verify?
